History Trivia / FinalFantasyTactics

* In a nod to Cloud's crossdressing caper in VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII, he can equip the female-only headgear (Cachusha, Barette, Ribbon).

** The Japanese release contained the Zodiac Brave Story Sound Novels, a collection of four mini-games in the style of ChooseYourOwnAdventure stories. Because of time and budget constraints, they were never translated and left unused in the non-Japanese versions. This in turn leads to some technically used musical tracks to be DummiedOut of non-Japanese versions as well, though unlike the sound novels, the tracks can at least be listened to in the SoundTest of the PSP version, along with several ''truly'' DummiedOut tracks.

** There were originally going to be twelve Knights Templar, and Matsuno even wrote names, genders and ages down for them.

** Likewise there were originally going to be a full lineup of thirteen Lucavi, one for each Zodiac Stone. The names of the main twelve (ie excluding BonusBoss Elidibus/Zodiark) are listed in Ivalice script on the Zodiac circle shown in the background of the save screen, though the six who did not make it to the final game had their names {{Retcon}}ned by ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.

* Attacks from the sides or behind are more likely to hit (both are usually effective unless the target has a shield or the Parry ability). Shield and Parry in combination can make attacks from the front all but pointless. Shirahadori/Blade Grasp and a Featherweave Cloak can make even back attacks unlikely at a twelve percent success rate.
** Specifically, attacks from the front have to deal with all 4 types of Evasion in a character's stats (Class, Shield, and Accessory Evasion, as well as Weapon Evasion if Parry is equipped). Attacks from the side ignore Class Evasion, and Attacks from behind ignore Class, Shield, AND Weapon Evasion, leaving only Accessory Evasion. Shirahadori is separate from all this, factored before standard evasion (the game makes a check against Shirahadori first, with the success% being equal to the character's Bravery, THEN calculates against all remaining evasion types that are appropriate for the situation).
*** But Reaction Abilities like Shirahadori only work on the first attack, so if you've got the [[DualWielding Dual Wield]] ability, the second swing will have a far greater chance of hitting. In fact, against a high-Bravery character with Shirahadori, this is virtually the ''only'' way to succeed with a physical attack.
*** Unless, of course, the Reaction Ability is Hamedo/First Strike, which will cancel the attack whether the attacker has Dual Wield or not Brave% of the time.

** Several entries in the Chronicles (or Brave Story, if you're playing the original PS1 version) are technically used, but unable to be seen in normal gameplay, as these entries are only added after crossing the PointOfNoReturn, after which viewing the Chronicles is impossible.

* Attacks from the sides or behind are more likely to hit (both are usually effective unless the target has a shield or the Weapon Guard ability).
